New Free Fall Lifeboat

Carries More People with a maximum continuous output of 2,880 kWe at 750 rpm, and the fourth set with a Wartsila 4L20 diesel engine of 685 kWe output at 1,000 rpm. The engines are scheduled for delivery from the Wartsila Vaasa factory in November 2004. The three Wartsila 6L32 engines will be equipped with common-rail fuel injection. The shipowner has adopted common-rail injection because of it enables the engines not to emit visible smoke under any operating conditions.

This will be Donsotank's fifth vessel equipped with Wartsila main engines

The new SC59FF free fall lifeboat from Survival Craft Inspectorate is tout- ed as a cost-effective safety system for cargo vessels, tankers and offshore plat- forms. By optimizing the interior layout of the new 5.9 m lifeboat, designers have achieved 25-passenger carrying capacity. Constructed throughout from corrosion resistant materials, the hull and canopy of the new 5.9 m (19-ft.) lifeboat are molded from GRP. The

SC59FF is launched and recovered using a hydraulic ramp and is capable of providing its occupants with a rapid escape from heights up to 13 m. The fire-protected version of the SC59FF is equipped with an external water spray and an internal compressed air supply that enable it to provide the highest lev- els of protection for tanker and oil plat- form crews. The new lifeboat also incor- porates integral buoyancy that ensures it is fully self-righting even if significantly damaged.
